OPEN YOUR EYES and YOUR HEART
Open yourself up to what is given to you. Fill your life with love.
I know that yoga can heal your mind, body, and spirit. One of the heart opening yoga poses that I like is sun salutation. When we are saluting the sun, we are also opening ourselves to the universe and ready to accept blessings. When your heart is open and you are available, you can truly give and receive love.
I have discovered that when you allow yourself to be genuine, vulnerable, and able to express the love of something as well as sharing them with others, you will draw more love of all kinds in your direction. Anything that nurtures your spirit in a loving way has the potential to fill your heart with love. When our heart is filled with love, and we are sharing that love, we become kinder, gentler, and more patient. Our perspective is enhanced and we become more satisfied. When we are only looking to be loved, it's easy to forget how wonderful it is to give love. Yet, when we discover new ways to share our love, an almost magical transformation takes place in our lives. We become more interested in others, more inclusive and wiser. It almost seems like a law of nature - the more ways we discover to express, share, and be loving, the more we find ourselves surrounded by the feeling of love (Don't sweat the small stuff in love).
I have also learned that life is about being present and occasionally being able to laugh at ourselves. "Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower" ~ HC Anderson. Once you can recapture yesterdays, tomorrow will come on its own. You begin to open yourself up to what is in front of you. Hopefully you make the best of the day and what is given to you. Listen to your heart, it knows everything. And remember, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. ~ Ralph Waldo EmersonOpen up and receive all of life's blessings.
